Hi there
I would like to keep a number of different Apistogramma species in my community tank which is 99x47x60cm (LxWxH) in dimension.
In order to minimise aggression and disruption in this community tank, I am not intending to breed Apistos in this tank. It will be males-only. (I will keep females in separate breeding tanks.)
There will be other fish in this tank, including hatchetfish, tetras and rainbowfish.
I will provide sufficient caves, plants and driftwood for hiding places and to break up line of sight.
Assuming I keep only one male per species, how many species do you think I can realistically keep in this tank without harmful aggression?
What different species do you recommend I keep such that aggression is minimized (eg I read that similar looking species would result in more fighting).
You help/advice most appreciated!
